Sunday nights are never fun. Starting a new week can be stressful as we hurry to complete assignments we didn't make time to do this weekend.
But not to fret! You are not alone! And it is okay, we all need time to relax and reboot before we dive headfirst in to what is sure to be another intimidating and daunting week. Take a deep breath. Reboot, recharge. Send up a prayer. God is with you.

True Friendship
It is not an enemy who taunts me -- I could bear that.
It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me -- I could hide from them.
Instead, it is you -- my equal, my companion, & close friend.
Psalm 55:12 - 13
A real friend sticks by you in times of trouble and brings peace, healing, love, and acceptance. It is hard to discern between those who are real, and those who are not. Are you my friend if you constantly make me feel insecure and unequal to you?
It isn't easy to find and keep true friends. That is the thing about friendship, you have to work for it, and the rewards are immense. When you do find one, be sure that you are patient, kind, and forgiving. Problems may arise, but they are simply a test. The true friendships survive the fiery trials, the weak ones collapse.
Today's Prayer:
Dear God,
Thank you for being with us today and everyday. We are so thankful to be in the midst of true friends. I pray that you nurture our relationships and help them to grow. Remind us to be careful when we cultivate friendships, to be generous and kind. Help us to be loving toward all, even if we do not get along. As always, we are so blessed by your generosity. We pray that you are with our families and loved ones and keep them safe.
Amen.
